2019 marked the year for the 40th Annual CSUN TRENDS fashion show. This year's show Illumination, was the capstone experience for our Apparel Design and Merchandising students in Family and Consumer Sciences and is self-produced through their student organization, TRENDS. There is a hopeful sense in these fashion collections, a reminder that we can see things in a new light sometimes just by changing our approach to them.
Our dedicated, talented students and their faculty created this show to highlight their inspiration. They conceived and created the fashions, invited our hosts, hired the models, photographers and videographers, stage-managed and directed action, sound and lighting, and promoted the event.
We thank our hosts, judges and sponsors for their enthusiastic participation in making Illumination a success!
